A brilliantly evocative, atmospheric novel about the delusion and
indecision of a wealthy family in the last days of the Third Reich
as the Russians advance from the east In January 1945, the German
army is retreating from the Russian advance. Germans are fleeing
the occupied territories in their thousands, in cars and carts and
on foot. But in a rural East Prussian manor house, the wealthy von
Globig family seals itself off from the world. Protected from the
deprivation and chaos around them, they make no preparations to
leave until a decision to harbour a stranger for the night begins
their undoing. Finally joining the great trek west, the remaining
members of the family face at last the catastrophic consequences of
the war. Profoundly evocative of the period, sympathetic yet
painfully honest about the motivations of its characters, All for
Nothing is a devastating portrait of the complicities and denials
of the German people as the Third Reich comes to an end.
